Paragraph 14 Issue of a compliance notice
An enforcement authority may, by notice (a “compliance notice”), require a person to take such steps as the authority may specify—
within such period as the authority may specify, and
to ensure that an act or contravention of a requirement listed in column 1 of the CS Table does not continue or recur, if column 4 of the CS Table indicates that a compliance notice is available in respect of the act or contravention.
Before giving a compliance notice, the enforcement authority must be satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for considering that the person has contravened or will contravene the relevant requirement in column 1 of the CS Table.
A requirement in a compliance notice must not be imposed on a person on more than one occasion in relation to the same act or contravention unless the act or contravention is a continuing act or contravention.
But sub-paragraph (3) does not prevent a compliance notice imposing an equivalent requirement on a person if any earlier requirement imposed on that person in a compliance notice relating to the same act or contravention has been withdrawn.
